I know the title says "Four" tales, and the article only has three stories. Must be a misprint.

[2nd Bn, 11th Mar]

I left New York for good after only one day there.

Should the article have used the word "tales"? The better word would've been "stories". A tale is oftentimes not true.

“I’m living the way I wanted to live in New York,” she said”.

Most likely trying to recreate New York where she is, they never learn.

I've been there. It is disgusting, over priced, and filthy.

I just shook my head when I saw people pushing babies in strollers, through the graffiti and the bums and the trash, while looking at nothing but concrete. What a way to grow up.

You couldn't pay me to live in NYC.

I love to visit NYC. For 2 days at a time. Then I’m ok for several years. I really love NY outside the City. It is absolutely gorgeous. Hiking and camping at Lake George, the Finger Lakes, the Hudson River Valley. The humidity is killer but the scenery is wonderful!

Hey, you be 300,001th to leave before Osama nukes NYC or Obama (Or Hill, Bill, whatever Dem) wins the Presidency and surrenders NYC to Osama...

No low, the authoress of this sappy piece left town immediately after publication. However, in fairness to the jerkette, she did keep the idiotic piece somewhat racially balanced. OTOH, there is no sympathy experssed for alternative lifestyles here. Her bad!

Suffice it to say that one can buy many acres of fine bottom land in America for the same amount of money it costs to rent a one-room studio in any part of town in which one's self or family is at least at minimal risk of being killed and eaten by the hordes of Third Worlders that make most of the NYC of today as attractive as the slums of Lima.

Ever seen Seinfeld? Unless the gang inherited their apartments from Mom and Dad, you're looking at $2500 a month in rent. To live next door to Kramer? I don't think so.

Housing prices in western PA are some of the most reasonable in the country. Three-bedroom, two-story houses about forty years old go for $140 - 160,000/year in the Pittsburgh suburbs. Apartment rents in suburban apartment buildings average $600 - 800/mo. for a decent one-bedroom in a safe area.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

I left over 27 years ago. People who left before me say the same thing, after you’ve been away a few years, you can’t understand why anyone would want to live in such an unpleasant place. (Massachusetts, despite its silly politics is a very pleasant place. In the summer.)

Or NYC math.

[Incorrigible]

And their all going to North Carolina!

Enjoy it while you can down there!

[Tanniker Smith]

Frankly, I wish more people would leave NYC. It would leave more room for me.

Instead, they're building monstrosities on neighboring streets and all the parking spots are going away.

[JohnLongIsland]

being born on that illustrious island, and now living in suburbia, the bottom line is you need real deep pockets, enjoy drinking a beer at your neighborhood saloon surrounded by liberals, and your food cooked in the environmentally correct oil du jour to live there.

NYC... A great place to visit, but you have to be rich or insane to want to live there. Often, the two are combined. Of course, those born and raised in NYC believe it is the center of the Western World, er... center of the known Universe, actually.

I’m not a fan of city-living, but after checking into Nashville activities on the web, it’s hard to believe that the Bogens couldn’t find anything better to do than to watch TV.
